hmm.. well the skyline army grows!!

Managed to convince my mate to buy a Skyline, and after looking at crappy old magnas, lancers, etc which really were all pretty bland when he looked at this GTS4 he bought it! Its an RB25DE, but he wasn't really after the extra costs of a turbo. Had all the options, and well when you do the math basically the best featured car for the price really.

1994 R33 GTS4, with 10 stacker CD, manual, and the cleanest interiors i have ever seen! Factory floor mats were like new, and not one scratch on the interior at all.. truly immaculate. Definitely genuine 77,000km. Stock as an absolute rock, as it came in under the new scheme.

Now this is two mates who have bought skylines since i have - haha. My mate in Melb bought a R33 GTR end of last year after going in mine enough times. Guess they know what is the best car for the $$ out there these days :)

now I just got this other mate in melb, who was thinking of getting another car, and has almost being convinced to get a liner too :) although not sure whether he is going to sell his car now :)

Ive got 2 people to buy 33 gtst's :)

Next on the list is a 97-98 GTR for me :) Not for awhile yet tho, and one of my mates will probably buy my gtst, cos i want it looked after, considering all the moolah and time ive spent on her!

Anyways, pred.. Hows dave going with your car?

Any word?

yeh. another to join the ranks of NA.

how many NA's are there in bris?

only ones i know of are John and I...

John is like in another league altogether now...

so ne one else?

I believe u can add genesis to that list aswell

My mate is on the goldcoast.. There would be a few around though, in fact there is a marone one up my road with a kit which i had a chat to recently. He is always driving around, 'nother bloody loud one for n/a too! :)

I reckon the non-turbo is a reasonable option, about $5k cheaper and things. Still a nice car, but only thing lacking is the power mainly. Looks the same after all.

Will be interested to see how my mates handles with the ATESSA GTS4 option. Stagea engine swap is also a possibility to give you a RB25DET 4WD -- but i doubt he will be in for that :)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
